Hope

Hope - by Bubbles Kandhari

Friends, dear friends do not despair

All your sorrows we’d like to share

Would like to wipe the tear off that face

And put a smile on every face.

We know the desert and the raging heat

We know staying there is a great feat

We know Shalaan camp and its plight

We know you have put up a brave fight.

What is happening to you is just not fair

We all know and we all care

Good times will come do not despair

From all of it you will get a fair share.

We understand your anxiety

And promise it’s not for long

Soon it will be a bad dream

Forgotten and gone.

So do not lose hope have courage dear friends

For there will be help and it will be God sent

Friends out there we would like to say

You will not stay that way.

God almighty is very kind

He is always there, just look behind

Do not think you will be left there pining

Think, with every cloud there is a silver lining.
